Can you clarify if this is shared with the account or if this is local information stored on a single device? Can you also provide an update as to whether there has been movement on fixing this security issue?

Hey @Immanence ! Just to clarify, do you want to know if this info only shows on the device from which you opened a shared link, or all devices with the mobile app installed irrespectively? 

 

Can you also clarify what you mean by your last sentence? In general, the “Viewed links” section can be easily removed by clicking on the palette icon Hannah mentioned above, and disabling it from the given list.

 

Thanks!

    Hi Nancy, I am curious if this info only shows on the device from which you opened a shared link, or all devices with the mobile app installed irrespectively. I opened a link while logged into someone else’s account and want to know if they will see it in their device or if it is only on mine.

      Hey liv2party! Just to make sure I got it right, are you accessing their Dropbox account via the mobile app on your own device?

        Yes, that is correct.
